KALROTSTAPPE, SCANDANAVIAN MASHED RUTABAGAS (VEGAN)
(Ignore the 404 error post of the same name!!!) Rutabegas are called "swede" or "orange of the North" in Scandanavia. People often think rutabagas and turnips are one in the same but they are not, rutabagas are bigger, darker, and starchier. This version of kalrotstappe from "Cooking the Norwegian Way" calls for a potato to be added for extra nutrition and texture since the rutabagas alone won't mash easily. You can use any kind of non-dairy milk (or regular if you're not vegan), I think almond milk is best for this.
